What's you definition of "regular sump"? A sump is really just a seperate area for you to put equipment in while increasing water volume.

I think those things are extremely overpriced for what they are. They also don't give you any options as far as what equipment goes.

Definitly. Many more options.

I'd just turn a 10 or 20 gallon glass tank into a sump. It's not difficult and you can customize it - such as adding a refugium, etc.
